The F4U Corsairs of World War 2 were fighter planes and only took a pilot into battle. Unlike the British, all Pilots for the United States were commissioned officers. The people maintaining the planes were usually enlisted personnel. (Whether regulations permitted it or not, some enlisted personnel learned to fly the F4).
The F4 Phantoms of the Vietnam War had a crew of 2. I never heard of them taking an enlisted man into battle. I heard of them taking an enlisted man up in one. He worked on the electronics and used the excuse that he wanted to check out the electronics as the pilot put the plane through its paces. During those flights, the plane would be tested at beyond normal limits. He claimed that it was fun.
